I've been reading the Nutch MapReduce stuff[1], and the original
Google paper [2].
I know there's a mapreduce branch in the nutch project, but is there
any plan/talk of perhaps integrating something like that directly
into the Lucene API? For projects that need a lower-level API like
Lucene, rather than the crawl-like nature of Nutch, the potential to
index lots of information in an efficient manner is very appealing
indeed.
I'm not suggesting this is _easy_, just curious of what folks on the
Lucene-side of things think. Perhaps a chance to refactor out from
nutch a shared library?
I would love to hear anyones thoughts on the matter.
cheers,
Paul Smith
